Let me add that the statues you have pictured here are: from the left: Mercy, Peace, Justice and Bishop Thoralk on the right.

The three first ones are the part of a set of four (the fourth one, Truth, is to the left of Mercy) statues called "The four divine sisters".

These four virtues were from earliest times seen as being connected, and are often portrayed as four sisters, each with her own personal attribute. This harks back to David's Psalm 85, verses 10-14:

Steadfast love and faithfulness will meet;
rightenousness and peace will kiss eachother.
Faithfullness will spring from the ground,
and righteousness will look down from the sky.
Yea, the Lord will give what is good,
and our Land will yield its increase.
Rightenousness will go before him,
and make his fottsteps a way."

The weather wasn't so good at all: a sun breaking out would probably have made the images stand out a bit more, making them more dynamic... instead I had to rely on high ISO and my tripod to get these.
